but_o in_o the_o pen_n i_o be_o write_v with_o so_o that_o i_o be_o but_o a_o cold_a writer_n nay_o the_o very_a thought_n seem_v to_o be_v freeze_v in_o my_o brain_n for_o they_o love_v very_o slow_o as_o if_o they_o be_v stupefy_v only_o my_o love_n to_o your_o ladyship_n keep_v warm_a in_o my_o heart_n indeed_o your_o love_n do_v help_v to_o maintain_v the_o fire_n of_o life_n i_o know_v not_o how_o cold_a it_o be_v at_o the_o pole_n for_o i_o never_o be_v there_o in_o person_n but_o in_o my_o imagination_n yet_o it_o can_v be_v cold_o there_o than_o it_o be_v here_o at_o this_o present_a time_n for_o my_o part_n i_o can_v almost_o think_v that_o this_o cold_a have_v travel_v from_o the_o pole_n hither_o but_o this_o thought_n of_o i_o will_v be_v contradict_v through_o two_o reason_n the_o one_o that_o cold_a move_v slow_o although_o to_o bring_v reason_n against_o reason_n it_o seem_v probable_a that_o cold_a be_v very_o quick_a for_o it_o catch_v every_o mankind_n by_o the_o finger_n and_o by_o the_o nose_n as_o soon_o as_o it_o come_v near_o they_o even_o as_o soon_o as_o burn_a fire_n will_v do_v and_o much_o soon_o the_o other_o reason_n be_v that_o cold_a in_o the_o long_a journey_n will_v get_v itself_o a_o heat_n and_o so_o be_v by_o the_o way_n but_o leave_v these_o reason_n though_o the_o sense_n know_v not_o from_o what_o place_n or_o part_n cold_n come_v or_o what_o it_o cause_n yet_o they_o know_v that_o we_o have_v here_o at_o this_o time_n cold_a with_o all_o its_o potent_a strength_n as_o a_o army_n of_o flake_n of_o snow_n with_o ammunition_n of_o hail_n for_o bullet_n and_o wind_n for_o powder_n also_o huge_a ship_n of_o ice_n which_o float_v in_o the_o main_a sea_n and_o stop_v up_o all_o the_o narrow_a river_n also_o cold_a and_o its_o army_n shoot_v forth_o the_o pierce_v dart_n which_o fly_v so_o thick_a and_o fast_o and_o be_v so_o sharp_a as_o they_o enter_v into_o every_o poor_a of_o the_o flesh_n of_o all_o animal_n creature_n whereby_o many_o animal_n be_v wound_v with_o numbness_n and_o die_v insensible_o although_o mankind_n bring_v what_o strength_n they_o can_v get_v against_o cold_a as_o a_o army_n of_o fur_n where_o every_o hair_n stand_v out_o like_o a_o squadron_n of_o pike_n to_o resist_v cold_a be_v assault_n and_o ammunition_n of_o coal_n serve_v for_o bullet_n and_o ash_n for_o powder_n with_o great_a log_n for_o cannon_n billet_n for_o musket_n and_o carbine_n brush_v faggot_n for_o pistol_n where_o the_o bellows_o as_o firelock_n make_v they_o fly_v up_o in_o a_o flame_n also_o great_a piece_n of_o beef_n for_o ship_n for_o man_n of_o war_n with_o cabbage_n for_o sail_n sausage_n for_o tackling_n carrot_n for_o gun_n and_o marrowbone_n for_o mast_n ballast_v with_o pepper_n and_o pitch_a or_o tar_v with_o mustard_n the_o card_n and_o needle_n be_v brew_v and_o neat_n tongue_n the_o steers-man_n cook_n beside_o many_o pinnace_n of_o pork_n mutton_n and_o veal_n and_o fly_v boat_n which_o be_v turkey_n capon_n goose_n and_o the_o like_a all_o which_o swim_v in_o a_o large_a sea_n of_o wine_n beer_n and_o ale_n yet_o for_o all_o this_o we_o be_v beat_v into_o the_o chimney-corner_n and_o there_o we_o sit_v shake_v and_o tremble_v like_o a_o company_n of_o coward_n that_o dare_v not_o stir_v from_o their_o shelter_n and_o many_o in_o the_o sea-fight_n have_v be_v drown_v from_o whence_o some_o have_v be_v take_v up_o dead-drunk_a then_o carry_v and_o bury_v in_o a_o featherbed_n where_o after_o a_o long_a sleep_n they_o may_v have_v a_o resurrection_n but_o how_o they_o

to_o give_v you_o a_o true_a relation_n of_o our_o cold_a condition_n but_o in_o all_o condition_n or_o extremity_n i_o shall_v always_o be_v madam_n your_o faithful_a friend_n and_o humble_a

as_o the_o old_a say_v be_v that_o pride_n in_o winter_n be_v never_o cold_a so_o it_o may_v here_o be_v say_v that_o love_n in_o winter_n be_v never_o cold_a indeed_o i_o have_v hear_v say_v that_o

i_o rest_v by_o the_o fireside_n madam_n your_o very_a faithful_a friend_n and_o servant_n cxcii_o madam_n although_o i_o be_o as_o unwilling_a to_o stir_v from_o the_o fireside_n this_o cold_a

yet_o my_o husband_n persuasion_n which_o be_v as_o powerful_a on_o i_o as_o the_o powerful_a authority_n of_o state_n to_o particular_a person_n force_v i_o out_o of_o the_o city_n as_o without_o

country_n and_o live_v in_o the_o city_n for_o i_o have_v so_o many_o reason_n which_o persuade_v i_o not_o to_o do_v it_o as_o this_o letter_n can_v compass_n yet_o lest_o i_o shall_v offend_v you_o i_o will_v set_v down_o some_o few_o the_o first_o be_v that_o it_o be_v more_o agree_v with_o my_o humour_n to_o live_v in_o the_o country_n for_o natural_o my_o humour_n be_v a_o solitary_n muse_v and_o contemplate_v humour_n and_o my_o delight_n be_v to_o write_v those_o fancy_n and_o conception_n which_o my_o contemplation_n do_v produce_v all_o which_o will_v be_v disturb_v with_o the_o several_a noise_n that_o be_v make_v in_o populous_a city_n the_o second_o reason_n be_v the_o preserve_v of_o my_o health_n for_o i_o have_v not_o a_o very_a strong_a body_n nor_o a_o very_a healthful_a constitution_n although_o i_o thank_v god_n not_o any_o particular_a disease_n yet_o so_o i_o be_o as_o i_o do_v not_o find_v myself_o so_o healthful_a as_o i_o wish_v i_o be_v and_o therefore_o a_o great_a and_o populous_a city_n be_v not_o so_o well_o agree_v with_o my_o health_n as_o the_o sweet_a and_o fresh_a air_n in_o the_o country_n where_o the_o sun_n and_o the_o wind_n have_v freedom_n and_o power_n to_o disperse_v and_o so_o to_o destroy_v malignant_a vapour_n the_o three_o reason_n be_v that_o my_o husband_n have_v a_o house_n in_o the_o city_n but_o by_o the_o occasion_n of_o the_o civil_a war_n his_o estate_n be_v tear_v in_o piece_n among_o many_o part_n which_o be_v quite_o take_v from_o he_o and_o his_o posterity_n the_o say_a house_n be_v one_o so_o that_o we_o have_v no_o house_n for_o the_o present_a in_o the_o city_n to_o live_v in_o but_o if_o i_o have_v one_o true_o madam_n i_o shall_v not_o be_v willing_a to_o live_v there_o for_o i_o be_o so_o much_o please_v with_o a_o solitary_a country_n life_n that_o i_o can_v bring_v any_o argument_n to_o myself_o which_o can_v induce_v or_o persuade_v i_o to_o a_o city_n life_n which_o be_v but_o a_o gossip_n and_o vain_a life_n where_o there_o be_v in_o conversation_n more_o idle_a word_n speak_v than_o good_a work_v do_v and_o more_o money_n spend_v than_o their_o estate_n be_v able_a to_o pay_v and_o if_o i_o live_v there_o and_o shall_v not_o speak_v idle_o and_o spend_v vain_o as_o other_o do_v i_o shall_v be_v out_o of_o the_o fashion_n and_o there_o be_v a_o old_a say_v better_o be_v out_o of_o the_o world_n than_o out_o of_o the_o fashion_n but_o your_o chief_a argument_n to_o persuade_v i_o to_o live_v in_o the_o city_n be_v that_o in_o a_o great_a and_o populous_a city_n there_o be_v many_o learned_a and_o witty_a person_n with_o who_o i_o may_v converse_v who_o conversation_n will_v increase_v my_o knowledge_n better_a my_o understanding_n quicken_v my_o wit_n and_o by_o practice_n refine_v my_o speech_n or_o language_n true_o madam_n the_o advantage_n will_v be_v great_a if_o i_o can_v alter_v the_o nature_n of_o our_o sex_n as_o not_o to_o speak_v much_o but_o that_o be_v impossible_a for_o all_o woman_n and_o so_o i_o among_o the_o rest_n be_v more_o apt_a to_o talk_v than_o to_o learn_v with_o attention_n so_o that_o i_o shall_v rather_o discover_v my_o imperfection_n by_o the_o superfluity_n of_o my_o discourse_n than_o gain_n applause_n by_o my_o wit_n for_o i_o in_o my_o conversation_n speak_v as_o i_o may_v say_v without_o think_v or_o rather_o consider_v but_o when_o i_o write_v i_o think_v without_o speak_v wherefore_o the_o wise_a way_n for_o i_o be_v rather_o to_o write_v than_o to_o speak_v for_o then_o my_o speech_n will_v not_o disgrace_v my_o write_n for_o most_o man_n judge_v their_o acquaintance_n rather_o according_a to_o their_o word_n than_o their_o work_n and_o those_o be_v most_o applaud_v that_o be_v least_o know_v for_o the_o least_o error_n either_o in_o discourse_n or_o behaviour_n make_v not_o only_o the_o person_n of_o less_o esteem_n but_o all_o the_o labour_n of_o their_o life_n be_v they_o never_o so_o exact_a wise_a or_o heroic_a wherefore_o it_o be_v a_o madness_n to_o desire_v to_o converse_v with_o much_o company_n especial_o for_o those_o that_o desire_v to_o keep_v up_o a_o fame_n once_o get_v unless_o it_o be_v in_o public_a action_n or_o employment_n neither_o do_v that_o last_o unless_o their_o action_n be_v like_o pyramid_n which_o rise_v still_o high_a and_o high_a but_o for_o the_o

full_a of_o confusion_n but_o madam_n i_o only_o desire_v to_o keep_v up_o those_o small_a molehill_n i_o have_v make_v that_o be_v the_o reputation_n of_o my_o book_n whereas_o if_o i_o do_v appear_v

shall_v have_v join_v they_o to_o these_o it_o will_v have_v be_v as_o a_o type_n or_o resemblance_n of_o infinite_a nature_n and_o i_o be_o careful_a not_o to_o be_v too_o tedious_a or_o wearisome_a to_o my_o reader_n beside_o the_o say_a letter_n contain_v nothing_o but_o philosophical_a question_n and_o answer_n be_v not_o so_o fit_a or_o proper_a for_o this_o book_n wherein_o be_v only_o
